I've always liked the IM-ing approach to fanfics. How do you think I did? :) Oh, and yes, the hair tie thing's silly. But so am I!

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:37

It's a round stretchy thing girls use to put their hair up with

Comment reply from: Ron Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:37

Oh

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:38

It's not in the bathroom!

Why don't you just leave your hair down?

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:41

why does he always show up?!

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:41

You know all too well what happens when I leave it down, judging by your constant "bush," "roadkill," and "tornado" comments. And what do you mean, Harry?

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:42

I haven't said anything like that in at least a week! I'm appalled, Granger!

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:43

He just keeps popping up! The other day, I was going to ask you for some hw help, but before I could reach the library, he comes prancing out looking all hoity-toity and snobbish. Yesterday, I was going to the Quidditch field, but he was already on the pitch, flying really annoyingly slowly with someone on his broom, so of course I couldn't practice. And even this morning on the way to the great hall, he was just THERE, grabbing two plates of food. I mean, two plates! Who eats two plates of food?!

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:44

Um, Harry, are you feeling alright?

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:44

yes, why?

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:45

no reason. why would you be so annoyed by malfoy, tho?

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:45

cuz he's malfoy. Plus, how am I supposed to get into the library without passing him if he's walking out of it? and how am I supposed to use the Quidditch pitch when there's a slytherin on it? And why was the eating two plates of food?!

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:46

O.o this is starting to sound like your 6th yr all over again

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:47

Found the hair tie. In the library – nonfiction world history section.

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:48

I LOVE YOU! Thanks so much!

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Hold on, LOVE?!

Comment reply from: Ron Weasley

hermione! whats wrong with u?!

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:49

You guys, it's just a phrase!

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:50

U must be awfully close to malfoy to be using that phrase…

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:50

Just a phrase?

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:51

Oh, drat.

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:52

what's that supposed to mean?

Comment reply from: Ron Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:52

yeah, whats that supposed to mean?

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:53

Nothing! "I love you" can be used as a silly, relatively meaningless phrase to indicate one's gratefulness to another person without seriously implying romantic love.

Comment reply from: Ron Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:54

if u say so mione…

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:54

Ok, mione

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:55

Really, Granger? "A silly, relatively meaningless phrase?" "Without seriously implying love?" Is that all "I love you" really means to you? I understand that you don't want to inform your friends of our apparently compromising situation, but telling the world that the phrase "I love you" means nothing is a bit much!

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:55

That's not what I meant! I meant that when someone says "I love you" in a joking manner, they don't really mean it, but when someone does say it and mean it, they mean it…argh! I was just trying to cover up, okay? I'm still not ready to tell everyone!

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:56

Oh, really? We've been talking about this for weeks, Granger! You said you'd be ready soon! You said you'd tell them this week! All of a sudden you're freaking out and backing away and saying that "I love you" means nothing!

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:56

It doesn't mean nothing, it means everything! Every time I've said it to you, I've meant it! Stop being all up in arms about this! I was going to tell them! Today, actually! I just got scared, okay? Scared of their reactions. You know how I feel about this!

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:57

Well, I thought I did! Until you threw love out the window!

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:58

ARGH! I didn't! I. Love. You.

Comment reply from: Draco Malfoy

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 7:59

I love you too, Hermione.

I've got an extra plate of breakfast and a hair tie down here, if you want them.

Comment reply from: Hermione Granger

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 8:00

I'll be down in a moment.

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 8:01

Um, excuse me? SOMEONE OWES ME AN EXPLANATION HERE!

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 8:01

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 8:02

Comment reply from: Ginny Weasley

Posted on 8 Dec., 1999, 8:02

Don't u guys get it?! mione&malfoy have been secretly dating! Malfoy was probably visiting mione in the library when u saw him, harry, and the person on the back of his broom yesterday must have been mione as well! And obviously malfoy grabbed two plates of brkfst today to give one to mione. And when mione tried to cover up that she went to the library l8 last night, its cuz she was snogging malfoy!

Comment reply from: Harry Potter

So, how'd you like it? Please let me know! I just came back from a grueling D.C. trip (tromping around in the snow is not my thing) and I'm desperate for some serious pampering. Although Sense&Sensibility and a lavender&chamomile-scented bath are waiting, some reviews would totally complete the pampering experience. ;)
